It was around the time I saw Magic Mike XXL last year that I began to think we, as a society, might not be giving Jada Pinkett Smith her due. She drove home that point to me with a bravura trip through Paris Fashion Week a few months ago, and since then, I've taken note whenever I see her pop up in our photo service. It seems like the rising profiles of Jaden and Willow have piqued the paparazzi's interest in her lately, which means my photo research turned up tons of recent shots of Jada looking great.

Not only that, but Jada is almost always carrying a gorgeous bag, no matter where she is. Below, check out all the pieces we were able to spot in her surely enormous collection.

Balmain Clutch

For years, the fashion world didn't give Jada her due, but once Willow and Jaden started to attract the industry's attention, they seemed to realize Jada looks good in clothes basically all the time. Thankfully for all of us, that means plenty of pics of Jada in full Fashion Week looks are forthcoming throughout this gallery, starting with this one.

Bottega Veneta Knot Clutch

As you'll see as we get going, Jada has some clear favorites when it comes to bags, no matter the occasion.

Bottega Veneta Knot Clutch

For events, BV's iconic Knot Clutch is often among them.

Chanel Classic Flap Bag

If there's one thing that can be said about both Jada and her progeny, it's that they can all pull off a capital-L Look.

Chanel Patent Flap Bag

There are so many shiny materials in this photo that my eyes don't know where to go first.

Chanel Soft Flap Bag

On the other hand, you'll be forgiven if your eyes go straight to the bulldog puppy in this photo and never leave him.

Chloé Faye Bag

Time for another Fashion Week look! This time it's from Chloé's most recent Paris show.

Givenchy Antigona Bag

Jada tends to stick with solid-colored bags, but hey, a little leopard never hurt anybody.

Goyard Boeing Duffel

Jada travels a lot and she travels in style.

Goyard St. Louis Tote

I'm convinced that every famous person has one of these totes stashed in a closet somewhere at the very least, and nothing anyone can say would convince me otherwise.

Hermès Birkin

I haven't asked Jada personally, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here: the Birkin is her favorite bag.

Hermès Birkin

She has a number of them.

Hermès Birkin

And carries them frequently!

14 / 28

Hermès Birkin

She's even brave enough to have a white one.

15 / 28

Hermès Bolide

Birkins aren't the only Hermès bags she has, of course.

16 / 28

Hermès Crocodile Birkin

I, too, would like to be constantly swaddled in neutral knitwear and carrying a handbag that costs as much as a family car.

Hermès Crocodile Birkin

Had to include a second photo of this one, for obvious reasons.

18 / 28

Hermès Lizard Kelly Bag

If you doubted for some reason that Jada is an Hermès devotee, I think this lizard Kelly would be enough to convince you.

19 / 28

Hermès Ostrich Birkin

Did you think we were done with the Birkins? We weren't. (But we are now.)

20 / 28

Louis Vuitton W Bag

Jada's son is now a Louis Vuitton campaign star, but Jada was a fan of the brand's long before that.

21 / 28

Maison Margiela Metal Handle Satchel

Jada often carries this Margiela piece to travel.

22 / 28

Prada Crocodile Bag

One of my favorite things about doing photo research on stars that have been famous for a long time is you get some crazy old photos. This one was from Tom Cruise's wedding to Katie Holmes in Rome.

23 / 28

Prada Satchel

This look is an even bigger throwback.

24 / 28

Proenza Schouler Lunch Clutch

If you stripped out the fashion choices from these photos, though, it'd be nearly impossible to tell if they were from 10 years ago or today. Jada barely ages.

Roger Vivier Boite de Nuit Clutch

Her obvious dedication to the gym doesn't hurt, I'm sure.

26 / 28

Valentino Rockstud Shopper Tote

You've probably already noticed, but if not, this Valentino bag helps put things in perspective: Jada is very, very petite.

27 / 28

Valentino Studded Flower Tote

Some short women fear they can't pull off certain looks because they're not model tall, but Jada has the presence to pull off basically whatever.
